Hell N Back

Pilot

We're the Pogues, and our mission
This summer is to have a good time
All the time

"You know if the wind blows any harder it's gonna fling you off of the roof" a strong accented females voice is heard coining from a tan girl as she says this to her one of her best friends that's walking on the beam of a house roof, with a grin forming on her face.

"That's what a three story fall to the deck? I give you about a one-in-three chance survival." Pope one of her other friends says looking at the young boy who is playfully balancing on the beam drinking his beer. "Hm" John B says while licking one of his fingers and holds it in the air to see which way it's going.

"Should i do it?" He asks looking down at his two friends. "Yeah, you should jump. I'll shoot you on the way down." Pope says while pointing a nail gun at his friend on the roof. "You gonna shoot me." John B says

Another girl walks out of the inside of the house to the deck. "They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers." The girl says. "Of course they are why wouldn't they?" A blonde boy on the balcony says. "This used to be a turtles habitat, but who cares about the turtles i guess?" The brunette girl says.

"I can't have cold towels." The blonde boy JJ says. "Can you please not kill yourself?" The girl Kie says squinting her eyes looking up at John B. "Don't spill that beer. "I'm not giving you another one." JJ says

And like the universe wanted to joke around, the wind blows slightly making john B almost fall he spills his beer onto the deck below him. "It's like you didn't listen to him." Cali says laughing out of her nose. "Of curses you did, like right when i told you not to." JJ says annoyed

"A plus" Pope says while clapping his hands like someone just won an award. Calista turns around hearing someone yell and sees security caught them. "Um guys security's here, time to skedaddle." The latina girl says while getting her bag off the floor. "Let's wrap it up" Pope says anxiously not wanting to get in trouble.

"Boys are early today." The brown haired boy says. While everyone else starts to get their things. "Let's go, boys and girl." Kie says not waiting a single second on the deck to get out.

As they start getting down of the beach house they start teasing the cop who they see every day as them getting in trouble from being there is almost an everyday occurrence. As the five teens run they laugh and shout excitedly. The cop almost catches the kids but they are too fast for him. "Not much of a hugger man." JJ says as Gary almost gets his arms around him, and runs to where the van they call the Twinkie is.

"Come on boys." Kie says with a whoop. "Look who made it in" Cali says with excitement. "Hey check out Gary, gunnin' for a raise." Pope says with a laugh. "Come on, Gary!" JJ says reaching a beer towards the cop running after their van. "You're gonna give him a heart attack." Cali says smiling.

JJ ends up throwing the beer towards the cop as they drive away. "JJ stop. Stop." Kie says with a serious face but everyone knew she thought it was kinda funny.

The Outer banks, Paradise on Earth. It's the sorta place where you either have two jobs or two houses. Two tribes, one island.

All right. This is Figure Eight, the rich side of the island. Home of the kooks. So, guess where we don't live.
And then this is the south side or the cut.Home of the working class who make a living busing tables, washing yachts, running charters. The natural habitat of...Drumroll, please......The Pogues.

That's us. Pogues, poguies, the throwaway fish, Lowest member of the food chain. Okay so the downside of Pogue life is we're ignored and neglected. The upside of pogue life is we're ignored and neglected, which means we can do whatever we want, whenever we want.
"That's JJ, my best friend since the third grade. He's about a local as they come. Latest in the long line of fishing, drinking, smuggling, vendetta-holding sal-lifers who made their living off the water. Best surfer i know. Just don't tell him i said that. Mild kleptomaniac and a future tax cheat.

"And that's Kiara,or Kie, as we call her. When she's not saving turtles or listening to Marley or getting a dolphin tattoo, she's hanging out with us. She's one of two girls who hand out with us. I'm not sure why thought. So, she's a rich kid actually. Foot in both worlds, Her family owns The Wreck, this Outer Banks institution. Total cash cow with the tourists. You know, I'm not really sure how her parents feel about us. I mean i know they like Calista, not only because she's a girl. I guess all three of us boys have a thing for her."

" And that's Pope, the brains of the operation...finalist for the Lucas T. Vanderhorst merit scholarship. And the smartest person i know. Little bit of a weirdo. His Father's this legendary character, Hayward. Anything you wanted Hayward could get it for you. Now, I'm not sure Hayward knew what to make of his oddball son, but it didn't matter. He was pogue, just like the rest of us.

"And the last girl in the group, Calista, or Cali. She can basically do anything. She used to do gymnastics so she's flexible, she can sing really good and she loves soccer. Oh and you also can't forget she also loves swimming. Anything that involves the ocean and whats in it count her in. So actually English isn't her first language. Both of her parents are from Colombia. She was born and raised there till she was 10 years old. When she first met us at school she didn't know a lick of English so we helped her learn. Sure she still struggles with some words but hey, it's progress. Eventually her parents also learned English. Now her parents Gloria and Anthony we know like us. They treat us like they're kids. Now Cali does have an accent and no matter how nice and polite she can be to  the kooks they will still make fun of her acting like they can't understand her. Now she isn't the smartest person like Pope with school even though she still did good in school, she was more better at gossip and celebrity drama. With her looks you would think she could be a model. Now she does have a secret, that only her parents and us know...She's a mermaid! Can you believe that? She also has powers that come with it. One drop of water and boom she's on the ground with an orange scaly tail. We can't let anyone else know because if they find out what she is then people will take her away and do science experiments on her. So i guess we can say we're pretty protective of her as a group.

"And that's me, John Booker Routledge. And this is where i live. An old fish shack on the marsh. The Chateau, as my dad used to call it. There's dad. He disappeared at sea nine moths ago, looming for a shipwreck. Who disappears at sea these days? And then there's mom, she split when i was three, last i heard she was in Colorado. I think it was Colorado. Uncle T! That's Uncle T. Since dad vanished, he's supposed to be my guardian. At the moment, he's in Mississippi, building houses...which means it's just me on my own, hanging out with my friends. Three months after my dad went missing he was officially presumed dead. I refused to sign the papers. Until i see a body I'm not giving up.

*Hey i hop you guys like this first chapter. The next one coming after this one is when the all starts and maybe we'll meet Rafe? I Haven't really thought about when she's gonna meet him but I'm also so excited for her and Rafa to meet so i guess we'll see! I also gave more of a run down on Calista what do you guys think about her so far? Tell me what you think.
